[quote=Anonymous][quote]I wasn't aware they differentiated by age when it comes to child care. Do they? [/quote]

20:09 here. I've worked at 2 different agencies. One explicitly stated in their telework policy that you needed child care to telework if you had non-school age children. My current agency does not have any such restrictions in their telework policy. In fact, the lame telework training video includes allowing employees flexibility in child care arrangements as an example of a benefit of telework. I know many people at many agency openly telework on days when their kids are sick or during school closings. It's not a hidden thing. Branch chiefs and ADCs do it too.

My kids are now 8 and 10. I can and have had conference calls with them home and also done all manner of work. Occasionally I'll turn on a TV show for them or get them a snack. In terms of lost time, I don't see how that is any different from getting a coffee from the break room or chatting with a co-worker about sports. [/quote]
